Definitions

  • This invention relates to a glass composition for electric lamps, and more particularly to a glass composition substantially free of lead for use in electric lamps.
  • EP Patent No. 603 933 describes a lead free glass composition for use in electric lamps as stem glass as well as envelopes for compact fluorescent lamps. CeO2 is added in an amount of up to 0.2% by weight to improve UV absorption of the glass composition. In a starting batch of the glass composition, Na 2 SO 4 is used as a fining agent.
  • US Patent No. 5 843 856 discloses a lead free glass composition for electric lamps comprising SiO 2 , Al 2 ⁇ 3 , Na 2 O, K 2 O and B 2 O 3 as well as optionally Li 2 O, CaO, MgO, SrO, Sb 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , MnO 2 and/or CeO 2 .
  • the glass composition contains ZnO and optionally TiO 2 and /or P 2 O 5 .
  • US Patent No. 5 843 855 describes a lead free glass composition for electric lamps, in which the glass contains only a small amount of BaO and production cost of the glass does not differ considerably from that of a traditional glass containing lead.
  • US Patent No. 5 885 915 describes a glass composition for electric lamps comprising neither PbO nor BaO or optionally ZnO while its characteristics determining the use for electric lamps are equivalent to or better than known compositions containing BaO.
  • a glass composition for parts of electric lamps that is substantially free of PbO and comprises components in percentage by weight as follows:
  • this glass composition has substantial advantages over the prior art.
  • the glass material of this composition has an excellent UV absorption, which also meets the requirements of compact fluorescent lamps with plastic fixtures. Melting, fining and shaping processes are better controlled.
  • This glass composition can replace the lead containing glass materials used widely in all area of lamp production.
  • Fig. 1 shows a graph of UV absorption curves varying with the quantity of CeO 2 content in the glass
  • Fig. 2 shows a graph of the area fraction of bubbles in the glass melt during melting process
  • Fig. 3 shows a view of a compact fluorescent lamp with bulky plastic parts
  • Fig. 4 shows a schematic view of a stem for an electric lamp.
  • the glass material made of the proposed lead free glass composition fulfills the requirement of improved UV absorption of envelopes of compact fluorescent lamps that have bulky plastic parts and fit into plastic fixtures. Due to technical parameters of this glass material, it can be used in all area of lamp production lines instead of lead containing glass material. Fining package composed for the production of this glass material makes the production process more economical and better controlled.
  • UV absorption properties of a glass composition can be improved by addition of selected components, which have absorption band in the UV range of the light.
  • selected components which have absorption band in the UV range of the light.
  • iron in oxidized form has an absorption peak in UV range up to 400 nm, though absorption coefficient of this component is relatively low. Higher quantity of iron would be necessary to accomplish the required UV absorbing effect, however light transmittance in the visible range is also significantly influenced in that case, and remarkable lumen loss and colour change of the lamp appear.
  • Inclusion of rare earth elements, primarily cerium has effective UV absorption in the required region without significantly influencing the light transmittance in the visible range. The UV absorption increases with increasing quantity of cerium, however absorption properties are also influenced by other glass components and the redox state of the glass.
  • UV absorption curves varying with the quantity of CeO 2 content can be seen in Fig. 1.
  • the transmittance ratio (T%) of lead free glass compositions with different CeO 2 content and leaded glass material with 0.4 % by weight of CeO 2 content were measured and plotted as a function of wavelength in nanometers.
  • glass compositions with different cerium- oxide contents were melted and the UV light transmittances of samples were tested.
  • a fining package with antimony and nitrate was used. It was found by the tests that 0.5% by weight CeO 2 in a lead free glass composition provided the same absorption effect as 0.4% by weight of CeO 2 content in lead containing glass with full cut off of UV light up to 320nm.
  • CeO 2 in an amount of 0.4-0.6% by weight is used in order to accomplish the UV cut off at 320nm.
  • the fining process of the glass depends on solubility and diffusion of gases in the melt, which are basically determined by nature of the gases, partial pressure of the gases, basicity, surface tension of the glass melt and temperatures used. Fining agents have to be selected taking these factors into account. Chemically bonded gas components of raw materials and air between grains of raw materials result in gas bubbles in the glass melt. These gaseous inclusions must be removed during the fining process and fining agents are added to the glass melt in order to support elimination of gas bubbles. The fining agents have the function of producing fining gases that will diffuse into the gas bubbles resulting in growth of these bubbles and consequent ascending and release of them.
  • the fining agents used mostly in glass industry are sodium sulphate and antimony trioxide. Potassium or sodium nitrate is added to ensure that antimony is dissolved in the melt in the form of Sb 2 O 5 .
  • Sb 2 O 5 is an effective fining agent and makes the glass to be sufficiently oxidized.
  • the glass composition, in which CeO 2 in an amount of 0.4-0.6% by weight is used also comprises Sb 2 O 3 in an amount of 0.2-0.4% by weight.
  • Sodium sulphate is less suitable as a fining agent in glasses, which have to be melted under strongly oxidizing conditions. The released gases in high barium content glass compositions with sulphate fining cause formation of high viscous foam in conditions of oxy-fuel melting.
  • the temperature of the furnace was controlled between 1400 and 1470 0 C. Melting and fining processes were stable with controllable batch blanket flow. Any unacceptable foaming was not experienced.
  • a compact fluorescent lamp of 2D form is shown.
  • the lamp has an envelope 12 and a plastic base part 11.
  • the envelope of the lamp was made of a glass material originated from the industrial test above.
  • the UV absorption of the envelope 12 was at least equal to that of an envelope made of lead containing glass composition used widely. It is envisaged that the plastic base part 11 and the plastic fixture receiving the lamp will not be adversely affected by the UV radiation of the envelope 12 made of the proposed glass compared with an envelope of lead glass, that is significant discoloration will not occur before the end of life of the lamp.
  • a stem of an incandescent lamp is shown.
  • the stem was made of the above glass material.
  • the stem consists of a flare 22, lead in wires 25L, 25R, a filament 27 and an exhaust tube 26.
  • the filament 27 is clamped to upper portions 29L, 29R of lead in wires.
  • the flare 22 is heated and the exhaust tube 26 and the flare 22 are melted together and an aperture in the exhaust tube 26 is blown out.
  • An inner end 24 of the flare 22 is sealed to the upper portions 29L, 29R of lead in wires by pinching.
  • the glass composition originated from the industrial test described above fulfills all of the requirements concerning technological steps of melting, tube drawing, shaping, aperture blowing and pinching. The sealing was sufficient so that no air leakage appeared.
